The lit snob in me generally does hate it when people who clearly haven’t read a novel apply its themes/salient points to real life superficially (i.e “””just like 1984!!1!!1””). However i feel like this book is one of the only ones whose enduring social contribution/concept/phrase is actually better off with the actual book being forgotten/not read lol
I really hated this book - I understand why its culturally relevant and i have to admit its confusing repeating absurdist style is a great way of showing the bureaucracy and nonsense of the corps - but this makes it an absolute slog to read and totally unenjoyable and a bad book (a catch 22 in itself i guess???!). Also the descriptions of women and the way theyre treated in this book are absolutely disgusting and made me so mad. It’s absolutely not worth the read or the 15 hours of an audiobook either
